The Atlanta Hawks’ rookie is doing all that he’s asked while also maybe playing more minutes than he or the coaching staff expected coming into the season. Nonetheless, Risacher is playing well on both sides of the ball, and head coach Quin Snyder is <a href="https://x.com/BTRowland/status/1861181940990087211" rel="noopener">excited about his growth</a> so far.</p><p>“Zacch, they say has a really high ceiling,” Snyder said. “Growth isn’t linear. He’s had 31-point games, four-point games, I don’t even know. And honestly, that’s not to me what his developmental arc needs to look like. </p><p>“He’s been a pleasure to coach; he’s a great teammate. The one thing people weren’t most aware of is his versatility on defense. He’s had to guard a lot of matchups. He guarded on the perimeter in the Eurocup and the French League, but we’ve asked him to do that in a lot of significant matchups. He’s risen to the occasion on that. I think he’s having a heck of a year and looking forward to continuing to see him grow.”</p><p>Risacher has definitely shown the ebbs and flows of being a rookie. One night, he can have a great shooting game, and in the next one, he could be struggling. The two things that have stayed consistent are his quality of shots and his effort on defense. Those two things have kept him on the court and in the starting lineup as De’Andre Hunter was injured for a few weeks.</p><p>Risacher will continue to grow as the season continues, and it seems like everyone on the Hawks is rooting for him to blossom into the impactful player that he can be.</p><h2>Hawks rooting for Zaccharie Risacher’s success</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Zaccharie-Risacher-2_20ae8d.jpg"><figcaption>Kyle Terada-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>After <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/hawks-news-zaccharie-risacher-nsfw-demand-quin-snyder-knicks">Zaccharie Risacher had a 33-point game</a> against the New York Knicks earlier this season, Trae Young and Jalen Johnson praised the rookie for his play and the potential they see from him.</p><p>“It’s great to see; I’m not surprised, to be honest with you. I knew it was bound to happen eventually, and I know it’s going to continue to happen with the way he’s been playing,” Young said. “I struggled my first couple of months into my rookie year, and I was Rookie of the Year debates in the second half. You’re going to go through ups and downs, especially in your rookie year. I know he wants to win, I know he wants to contribute. I just want him to always stay positive and keep his head on the right path.”</p><p>“That’s why he’s the No. 1 pick,” Johnson said. “I know he’s going to continue to work, continue to work hard, and use this as a building block moving forward.”</p><p>It’s been noted that Risacher is not the typical No. 1 pick, and maybe that has worked in his favor, so there isn’t much pressure on him early in his career. The Hawks have not asked much from him, but he’s still playing well on offense and defense, and he should be a major piece of the team as he continues to develop.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Well, luckily for Zaccharie Risacher, game number four on the schedule came around Wednesday night, and it offered an encouraging outlier in the lackluster rookie narrative.</p><p>Risacher scored 33 points on 11-18 shooting, and led the Hawks to a win against the Knicks. Those numbers finally moved the needle a little bit, and gave the league a rookie averaging more than 10 points a game.</p><p>But did Zaccharie Risacher’s breakout performance really change the outlook for the 2024 NBA rookie class? Not so much. Number two overall pick <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/hawks-news-zaccharie-risacher-embarrasses-alex-sarr-battle-top-2-nba-draft-picks">Alex Sarr</a> is still just at 9.8 points per game. Number three lottery pick Reed Sheppard is at a paltry 3.4 points a game for the Rockets.</p><p>Only three other rookies besides Risacher have hit the double digits points per game average so far — Jaylen Wells, Zach Edey, and Carlton Carrington — although it’s not really all the youngsters fault.</p><p>The biggest roadblock to increased scoring averages has been rookies not getting much in the way of decent playing time. Not sure whose idea it was, but with the level of parity in the league, it feels as though one coach started it and then all the rest made a makeshift pact to hold off on playing their rookies as much as possible to start this season.</p><p>Hopefully, one positive we can take from Zaccharie Risacher’s big game is that maybe it will convince other coaches to cast a bit of a wider net on playing time for Risacher’s fellow rookies.</p><p>Atlanta Hawks coach Quin Snyder’s <a href="https://www.nba.com/news/hawks-risacher-breakout-game" rel="noopener">comments after the</a> Knicks game regarding Risacher were pretty telling in that regard. “His progress isn’t going to be linear,” Snyder admitted. “He’s got to stay at it. We have confidence in him if he makes shots or he doesn’t. Today, he was really good on the defensive glass as well.”</p><p>If Snyder doesn’t believe <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/hawks-news-zaccharie-risacher-joins-impressive-company-breakout-game-vs-knicks">Zaccharie Risacher</a>‘s progress is going to be linear, it makes sense that his rise in playing time might not follow a set pattern either. But you only get better by playing more, so for all the NBA teams off to lackluster starts this season, the question remains — when are you going to start showing your rookies some love?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Hawks rookie scored 33 points in the contest, including 22 in the first half, consistently eviscerating a Knicks defense that evidently did not read the scouting report very closely.</p><p>In fact, so impressive was Risacher’s performance on the evening that he made an <a href="https://x.com/ClutchPoints/status/1854566762370433159" rel="noopener">early career milestone</a> in the process, becoming just the fourth youngest player in NBA history to score at least 30 points and record zero turnovers in a game at 19 years, 212 days old, per Stathead on X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>The three players who were able to accomplish the feat younger than Risacher were LeBron James (19 years, 36 days), Kobe Bryant (19 years, 116 days, and LaMelo Ball (19 years, 167 days).</p><p>Not bad company indeed.</p><h2><b>A sign of things to come for Risacher?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Risacher-vs-the-Knicks.jpg"><figcaption>Dale Zanine-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Coming into the draft, Risacher was viewed as the best possible choice out of a slew of bad options in a draft class that was widely viewed as one of the weakest in NBA history.</p><p>Although he showed some flashes in the preseason, Risacher largely struggled over the first couple of weeks of his career, showing a solid feel for the game but unable to cash out on many of his three point attempts.</p><p>However, that all changed on Wednesday evening at State Farm Arena, as the French rookie knocked down a three pointer on the opening possession of the game and did not look back from there, including launching a three in transition late in the second quarter after intercepting a pass from Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson.</p><p>Risacher also helped the Hawks seal the win by tying the game with a push shot from the paint late in the fourth quarter in what would become the most clutch shot of his young career.</p><p>The hope is now for Hawks fans that Risacher will be able to use the confidence he gained from this performance against the Knicks and apply it moving forward. His talent level and feel for the game were already undeniable, but if he is able to start knocking down perimeter shots with consistency, Risacher could end up proving the Hawks right by taking him number one.</p><p>In any case, Atlanta is next slated to take the floor on Friday on the road vs the Detroit Pistons at 7:00 PM ET.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The 2024 No. 1 draft pick <a href="https://x.com/NBA/status/1854368108137623823" rel="noopener">finished with 33 points</a> and shot 6-of-10 from three, and it was one of those games that felt like it was going to happen.</p><p>After the game, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/hawks-news-quin-snyder-zaccharie-risacher-adversity-rookie-season">Risacher spoke about the confidence</a> that the team has in him and the specific demand that head coach Quin Snyder has for him.</p><p>“[Quin] basically tells me to shoot the f—— ball,” Risacher said. “And that’s not just from him. It’s from everybody from the coaching staff to my teammates. It helps with my confidence, especially coming from France and trying to adjust. It’s good to be in that kind of situation where you have that confidence from your coach and everybody else.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">No. 1 overall pick Zaccharie Risacher had it ROLLING in the <a href="https://twitter.com/ATLHawks?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ATLHawks</a> win!</p><p>🔥 33 PTS (career high)<br>🔥 7 REB<br>🔥 6 3PM<br>🔥 3 STL<br>🔥 11-18 FGM</p><p>A career day for a career just underway 🌟 <a href="https://t.co/b6nYLSM6HX">pic.twitter.com/b6nYLSM6HX</a></p><p>— NBA (@NBA) <a href="https://twitter.com/NBA/status/1854368108137623823?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 7, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Risacher has shot the ball a lot this season, but they haven’t turned into points. Against the Knicks, those same shots went in, and the helped the Hawks get the win. Not only was he happy, but his teammates were as well.</p><p>“I was super excited and they were super excited too. It made me super happy to see how people react to me being good and being able to help this team win,” Risacher said. “I just felt the love, and it was good vibes and energy from my teammates. It’s been like this from Day 1. They always try to make sure I’m good on the court and off the court. I’m really happy to have them.”</p><h2>Hawks defeat Knicks with big game from Zaccharie Risacher</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Zaccharie-Risacher-2.jpg"><figcaption>Brett Davis-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>It’s always a big game when the Hawks and Knicks play each other, mostly because of the 2021 matchup in the playoffs. Tonight, it felt like one of those playoff games, and the Hawks used that energy from the crowd down the stretch to get the victory.</p><p>After the game, Trae Young shared his thoughts on Zaccharie Risacher’s big game.</p><p>“It’s great to see, I’m not surprised, to be honest with you. I knew it was bound to happen eventually and I know it’s going to continue to happen with the way he’s been playing,” Young said. “I struggled my first couple of months into my rookie year and I was Rookie of the Year debates in the second half. You’re going to go through ups and downs, especially in your rookie year. I know he wants to win, I know he wants to contribute. I just want him to always stay positive and keep his head on the right path.”</p><p>Jalen Johnson, who finished with 23 points and 15 rebounds, shared the same sentiments about Risacher’s performance.</p><p>“That’s why he’s the No. 1 pick,” Johnson said. “He showcased everything tonight. It was so fun just see him see the ball go in. It’s kinda been a tough stretch shooting for pretty much a lot of us. So seeing the ball go in, it was exciting. I know he’s going to continue to work, continue to work hard, and use this as a building block moving forward.”</p><p>There would be no surprise if Risacher has a big game like this again, as it looks like it’s just the beginning for the young rookie.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He now writes about sports instead as a form of therapy.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Atlanta Hawks</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>With the continued injury problems of De’Andre Hunter, the Atlanta Hawks have begun turning over the starting small forward position to the first overall pick of the 2024 NBA Draft, Zaccharie Risacher. Now, leading up to the Hawks’ Wednesday night clash against the New York Knicks, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/hawks-news-quin-snyder-zaccharie-risacher-adversity-rookie-season">Risacher has been very inconsistent</a> — making his breakout game in a 121-115 win feel that much sweeter.</p><p>Risacher had the game of his life on Wednesday night; he led the Hawks in scoring with a career-high 33 points on the night, and he did so on an efficient 11-18 shooting from the field (6-10 from three). Moreover, he filled up the box score, nabbing seven rebounds, three assists, three steals, and two blocks. And in so doing, the 19-year-old French international <a href="https://x.com/statmuse/status/1854357375064449033" rel="noopener">became the first-ever rookie</a> in NBA history to reach those numbers in a single game, according to StatMuse.</p><p>Unlike in recent seasons, there hasn’t been much hype surrounding the first overall pick, and Risacher’s performances to begin the year haven’t done much in the way of convincing fans that the most recent draft class to enter the league is relatively lackluster compared to recent years. But in the Hawks’ win over the Knicks, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/hawks-news-quin-snyder-aggressive-take-zaccharie-risachers-first-nba-start">Risacher’s two-way potential</a> was in full display.</p><p>Risacher has the physical tools to be a disruptor on the defensive end. Standing at 6’9″ with a long wingspan, the Hawks rookie was flying everywhere on Wednesday, racking up deflections while being an overall nuisance to deal with on the weak side of the defense.</p><p>While the 19-year-old forward projects to be more of a complementary player on offense more so than a lead offensive initiator, operating on a team with Trae Young at the controls is perfect for where Risacher is at this point of his career. And with Jalen Johnson’s continued emergence and Dyson Daniels showing out on defense, the Hawks are assembling for themselves an impressive young core, and the league better take notice.</p><h2><b>Hawks are soaring on an upward trajectory</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Zaccharie-Risacher-2.jpg"></figure><p>There was much pessimism surrounding the Hawks following a disappointing past two seasons as the Trae Young-Dejounte Murray partnership failed to work according to plan. Trading Murray away, a nightly 20-5-5 threat who emerged as one of the biggest threats in the clutch last season, only caused the Hawks’ stock to fall even further.</p><p>But the Hawks have been mostly competitive to begin the season, and perhaps they would be even better than their current 4-5 record had it not for their current injury problems. At the moment, Bogdan Bogdanovic and De’Andre Hunter are on the mend, and both of those players provide an additional scoring punch that could have helped the Hawks win one or two more ballgames.</p><p>So far, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/hawks-news-quin-snyder-blunt-take-trae-young-carrying-load-amid-injuries">Hawks are re-learning</a> the blueprint of putting together the ideal roster around Young. Young needs to have positive defenders playing alongside him as well as players who don’t command too much of the ball while being capable of making plays all the same. And they seem to be better off now that the Murray era in Atlanta is over.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
